In the enemies clutches

Landon Richardson and TealRose
Disclaimer
The character of Steve McGarrett, Chin Ho Kelly, Kono Kalakaua, Joe White and Wo Fat do not belong to me in any shape or form, I am merely using them for my own entertainment purposes
The character of Danni Williams is probably mine by now. Even though she was originally based on male Danny Williams I think it's probably safe to say that's she her own individual character by now, especially since I've created a back ground for her which is different to male Danny's background in the show. This also affects Grace who is different from the show as well in ways.
The character of Jack O'Connor and Rowan McGarrett definitely belongs to me so please don't use without asking permission first
Author Note
First thing I should say is that this particular story was actually co-written with Tealrose who is an incredible writer so you should so check her work out if you haven't already done so. We wrote the first draft together and then I wrote it up properly into the story you see below you. It's quite possibly the most fun I've had with a story in a while.
This story is what I like to refer to as the 'What could have been' story section. Although I am pretty a 100% sure on how I plan Steve and Danni to get together in the main saga it doesn't stop my mind from creating other ways that it could happen and this is one of those ways. It's been sitting on my hard drive for months now so I figured why not just put it up and be done with it.
So I guess you can think of it almost as an A/U of an A/U lol!
This story unlike the other 'what could have been story' will be separated into chapters and it will turn mature pretty soon I think so you should be aware of that.
This story was so much fun to write so hopefully you'll all enjoy it as well.
The rating for this chapter is obviously much higher than the previous ones so please be aware of that!
We hope you all enjoy it
Overall summary
The last thing Danni wants to do is have to interact with Wo Fat but with Steve on the edge of falling apart she has no choice but to step up into the brink and deal with him and his game… the only question is will she lose more than she gains? (Part of the Danni world saga)
Chapter Summary
"Are you sure that you want to do this Danni because it's not too late to change your mind, I can go in there for you instead and question Wo Fat." Chin Ho Kelly stated, his dark eyes boring into Danni's as he placed his hand on her shoulder, squeezing down on the muscle in a comforting manner.

Chapter Two
"Are you sure that you want to do this Danni because it's not too late to change your mind, I can go in there for you instead and question Wo Fat." Chin Ho Kelly stated, his dark eyes boring into Danni's as he placed his hand on her shoulder, squeezing down on the muscle in a comforting manner.
They were waiting for the guards who would bring Wo Fat into the interrogation room which was next door to the room they were currently in. Danni shook her head, keeping her eyes fixed on Jack O'Connor as he set up his computer equipment, ready to verify and check everything which came out of Wo Fat's mouth.
"It's not a case of wanting to do this Chin, it's more a case of having to do it. Steve needs me to do this for him." She told the older man, crossing her arms over her chest and averting her gaze to the empty room she would soon be occupying. She felt itchy all over, her desire to have Rowan back in her arms growing with every passing moment even though she knew her daughter was completely safe and sound with her father and half of their Ohana.
"He's going to know exactly who you are Danni and what you mean to Steve. He knows you're Steve biggest weakness and he's going to try and get into your head. It's what he does."
Danni nodded slowly, her eyes narrowing when she saw the secondary door open and three guards lead Wo Fat in and towards the one desk in the middle of the room. He didn't look intimidating but she knew from experience that appearances were almost always misleading.
"I know" She said on a sigh, turning back to Chin. "That's why you'll be in the room with me as well, for added support. Have you got everything ready Jack?" She asked, switching her attention to the tall blond who looked up at her and nodded, making no effort to hide the concern from his pale blue eyes which told her without words that Jack agreed with Chin that this was an insane idea. Swallowing hard, she straightened, breathing out slowly before she spoke. "Okay Chin, let's go and get this over and done with."
She led the way out of the room and towards the door next to it, her hand gripping the handle for a second before she set her shoulders and entered the room, fixing her face in its usual unreadable thoughtful expression.
"Well, well, well Detective Williams… this is certainly a pleasant surprise. What brings you down here to see me? Don't tell me, does it have something to do with McGarrett's and my obsession with the illusive Shelburne?" He queried, watching as her eyes narrowed slightly even as she smiled, taking the seat opposite him. He ignored Chin as though the other man didn't exist.
"Your obsession" She repeated. "If you're obsessed than you can surely understand why the Commander wants to know all he can about Shelburne If you really think about it, Shelburne has destroyed both of your lives but, instead of just approaching him at the beginning and explaining things you instead torture him and then try to kill him in North Korea of all places. Why is that exactly?" She asked, a curious tone to her voice as though she was genuinely interested in hearing what he had to say.
"Maybe it as simple as the fact that I just don't like him. I don't like McGarrett and I don't like 50 either and I don't like the way you keep disrupting my businesses though I've heard you haven't been gracing the 50 offices with your presence for the past four months. I wonder why that is" He stated thoughtfully, dropping his eyes to look at her figure before they came back up with a knowing, triumphant look which set her on edge.
She forced herself to relax in the chair, tilting her head slightly to the side.
"I think we both know why I've been gone for four months though if you like I can spell it out for you." She said through gritted teeth, she heard Chin shift slightly behind her but stared straight at Wo Fat with a thoughtful look
Wo Fat stared at her hard before he smirked.
"So McGarrett is a father now is he. That is certainly interesting to know." He remarked before changing the subject, his eyes never leaving her face. "It amuses me that people believe that it's McGarrett who is the brains of 50 when that position clearly belongs to you Danielle. That must frustrate you at time. Tell me, do people look at you, see what you look like and then simply brush you off as unimportant? I'm not ashamed to say that I find you quite fascinating. I've been hoping that I could get to McGarrett enough that he would slip up and send you here to speak to me." He stated, his face breaking out into a grin which reminded her sharply of a shark. "I'll tell you what Danielle, the two of us will play a little game together. You can ask me a question and I'll answer it truthfully but then in return I get to ask you a question and you have to answer it. Have we a deal?"
Danni smirked internally; men always thought that she put everything towards her appearance and looks when just the opposite was true. Wo Fat was seeing everything about her but clearly he couldn't read her if that was his opinion. The fact that he was trying to subtly drive a wedge between her and Steve was interesting as well. She wondered whether Wo Fat had any idea that Toast had found out that a few of her ex colleagues were currently undercover working for him, gaining information which could be used to put him away once and for all. She almost wished she could be there when he realised what had happened. He would be in for a surprise that much was for sure.
"Go right ahead" She answered sweetly. "You can even ask the first question if you want."
Wo Fat was smiling for a second, his eyes moving across her face in a way which made her want to go and drown herself in a shower.
"How does McGarrett like being a father to a child of his own" He demanded. Danni raised her eyebrow slightly wondering where he was going with the line of questioning.
"I imagine he feels the same way as any father does when they have a child." She answered briefly ignoring the flash of annoyance that crossed his face at her brief answer. He had never stated just how long her answers had to be, just that she answered them. "So who or what is Shelburne?" She questioned, spotting the spark of anger which flashes across his eyes before he lowered them briefly from her. Either se was angry about her question or he was angry by her generic answer to his. Either way it was a good sign that she was getting under his skin. For a moment he was silent as though weighing what he could tell her before he eventually answered her.
"Shelburne is a person" He told her, crossing his arms over his chest. "Now it's my turn. How does McGarrett feel about you? Are you the love of his life?"
Danni made a show of yawning and glancing down at her watch.
"Really? That's your question. Why asked something you already know the answer to? Because I'm kind though I'll allow you to retake your question perhaps you're less smart than I had been led to believe after all"
She smiled as she saw another spark of rage from him telling her that she had hit a nerve with her comment, he clearly hated anyone talking about his family or insulting his intelligence. She smiled again when she heard Jack's voice coming softly through her ear piece.
"Hey Danni, I looked into Wo Fat and it looks like he's following in his father's footsteps only more brutally and with more money to back whatever he does. He doesn't care who he hurts. Watch yourself carefully with him." Danni shrugged her shoulder to let Jack know that she had heard and waited for Wo Fat to speak.
"Hoe kind of you Danielle." He remarked calmly before his eyes flickered to Chin for the first time. "How does it feel to be engaged to a man who cares more about Shelburne then he does about you? Did you know that he lies to you constantly? For example when he tell you that he's going off for a run he's instead out looking for leads for Shelburne."
Danni laughed at the comment, shaking her head.
"Of course he is. We know each other better than you think apparently. All right now it's my turn, Why did Shelburne kill your father and why didn't he kill you as well? If Shelburne was smart enough to say hidden from you, it makes me wonder why he or she didn't get rid of you and end it."
"Shelburne didn't kill my father." Wi Fat replied. Danni kept her face expressionless with difficulty. She knew this was more than Steve had figured out. Not only did she now know that Shelburne was a person and not an organisation but she also knew that whoever it was hadn't killed Wo Fat's father.
"Doesn't it scare you Danielle to think that all I have to do is snap my fingers and you and your children would be gone just like that."
Danni ignored the cold wave of feat that crashed over her as her mind went instantly to Grace and Rowan and whether they were both safe.
"No because you underestimate me and what I am capable of doing if pushed" She said simply. "Why do you want Shelburne so badly if he didn't kill your father?" She pressed. She could feel her cell phone vibrating in the pocket of her cardigan but ignored it. She had a feeling that she knew who it was.
"The reason I want Shelburne so much is because she killed my mother" He answered after a pause. Danni felt he eyes widen for a second in surprise at the slip he made. She blinked when she heard Jack's sound of shock through the earpiece.
"Shelburne is a woman? I'll call the others for you Danni"
Danni shrugged her other shoulder this time and reached up running her hand over her hair to let him know that he needed to do it fast.
"I can understand why you would want her then" Danni said quietly. "I believe it's your turn to ask a question unless you want to stop this game that is."
Wo Fat stared at her for a moment wondering briefly how the hell someone like McGarrett had a woman like this one behind him and how he had convinced her to be with her and have his child? He must have spoken out loud because she laughed.
"Oh Wo Fat, you underestimate Steve McGarrett. You forget that he took Hesse down who was one of your Lieutenants if memory serves me right. Actually Steve is a lot like you when you think about it, his family was torn apart but unlike you he actually made something of himself." She shook her head and pushed her chair back coming to her feet. "I think we're done here." She stated, looking behind her towards the guards and nodded at them to indicate that they could take him back to his cell.
Danni felt sick to her stomach at the encounter though she made sure she kept the same half smile on her lips as she used throughout.
"Are you coming again Danielle?" Wo Fat demanded as the guards dragged him to his feet.
"That depends on whether you actually have any questions to ask next time" She replied, before she moved towards the door, stopping in the doorway and looking back at him with a smirk. "I'll give your regards to Steve."
